Instructions for Building a Basic Guided Buying Site
Symptom

These instructions will help you build a basic Guided Buying site which can be used for stakeholder demonstrations or as a platform for your specific configurations .


Resolution

1. Download the BaselineGBTemplate.json file from the attachments on this support note. Save it with a name that you want to use. Example: CUSTOMERNAME.JSON

2. In CUSTOMERNAME.JSON, replace all site name with your site name.

  1. First, replace https://customerrealmname-T.procurement.ariba.com with the complete URL for your child site, which you can get from the address bar of your web browser.

  2. Find and replace all occurrences of ‘customerrealmname-T’ with your site name. Be sure to include the child site reference and -T in the name.

3. Now, download your JSON file from the unbuilt//base/new GB realm and name it, say, CUSTOMERREALMNAME-ORIGINAL.JSON.

  1. How? Log in to your GB site -> click on the three-lined icon on top-left corner of the screen and then click the 'Admin' button. Note: Your user ID needs to have Customer Administration or Catalog Administration group assigned in P2X environment to be able to see the 'Admin' button.
  2. Click 'Manage using JSON' link under 'Landing Pages' and then click on 'download landing pages'. This will download the JSON file.

4. Open CUSTOMERREALMNAME-ORIGINAL.JSON and search for the word ‘PopularPage’. About 3 to 4 lines above it, copy and make a note of the uniqueName. It will look something like this: "Yxx5a1039f-ed3e-4579-b518-710fc218fdax1xxx".

Note: If you are already live on other Buying & Invoicing solutions, then check for more than one ‘PopularPage’ reference in the JSON file. If you find more than one, then identify which is the right one.

5. In the CUSTOMERNAME.JSON file search for the word ‘PopularPage’ again.

In this part of the code, just 3 to 4 lines above, replace the uniquename value with the one that you copied from CUSTOMERREALMNAME-ORIGINAL.JSON.

6. Go to the Admin section of your GB site and upload all relevant images. You can utilize the images attached to this support note.

7. Upload CUSTOMERNAME.JSON file to your GB site.
